Australia Investment Visa

Australia Overview

The goal of Australia's citizenship by investment program, the investor visa, is to attract successful businessmen and investors who want to immigrate and actively support the Australian economy. There is no direct route to Australian citizenship, thus you must go through several visa phases (meeting stay requirements of 4 years and passing the test to be eligible) before you may do so.

Given below are many investment visa choices available that suit varying business or financial backgrounds.

• Business Innovation and Investment (Provisional) Visa:

  This visa is primarily for investors or existing business owners who want to invest at least 800,000 AUD in Australia. You can invest a lot more money if you don't have any prior company or investing experience to qualify for the 188 visas.

• Business Talent Visa (subclass 132) :

  Suitable for business owners or entrepreneurs with more experience who are prepared to invest at least 1.5 million AUD. The venture capital stream is another option, but to qualify for it, you must obtain at least $1 million in venture capital (VC) funding from the Australian private equity and venture capital association (AVCAL).

• Business Innovation and Investment (permanent) Visa (subclass 888):

  The 188 visa has been converted into the subclass 888 investment visa. If you presently have a subclass 188 visa and meet the necessary criteria for length of stay and business achievement, you can apply for a permanent visa.
